Motivation Monday: Honoring Veterans and the Strength of Perseverance This Veteran’s Day, I’m reflecting on my journey as an Air Force veteran and honoring the courage, discipline, and resilience of all who have served. Military service teaches us powerful lessons about perseverance and commitment to our values—our families, our freedoms, and our futures. As veterans, we know that true strength is not just physical endurance; it’s about staying focused and resilient in the face of challenges. Today, I bring that same mindset to financial planning, helping clients secure their futures with clarity, purpose, and determination. Let’s honor our veterans by channeling their example—facing our financial and personal goals with the same commitment to building a future we’re proud of. To my fellow veterans: thank you for your service, your sacrifices, and the example you continue to set for us all. 🇺🇲 #MotivationMonday #VeteransDay #AirForceVeteran #FinancialStrength #Perseverance #Gratitude #CoastalHorizonFinancialSolutions #WealthBuilding #Patriotism #Veterans

Those of us that served, had very little in say in the grander circumstances of our service. I chose my job (MOS) but I didn't choose my first language. I didn't choose my first unit. And I didn't choose my deployments, and I didn't choose all of my team members for those deployments. Most service members end their time in service before hitting tenure limits. There's always another deployment, another conflict, another operation on the horizon for which your brothers and sisters in the service will undertake without you. When I chose to PCS back to language school to pursue a different language after my first two deployments, my old unit went back to Iraq before I think I had my first real exam. It tore me up, I spoke to a SNCO in my class about wanting to leave language school to go back to Iraq with my unit. I felt like I was betraying them because I chose other career options. He walked me through the flaws in that logic. The Marine Corps, the military, the DoD, is larger than any single unit's deployment. If they couldn't do it without me, they wouldn't have let me PCS. I was valuable, but I was not indispensable. And by getting another language, I was making myself more valuable. By imparting my learnings to those young Marines at the language school, I was raising their value. Fast forward a year, and I chose a joint-service assignment rather than go back to a Marine Corps unit. My roommate went to MARSOC (I wasn't MARSOC material), many of the young Marines I served as a Platoon Sergeant at language school went on to fleet units, most of them went to Afghanistan. The first Marine Corps KIA in our MOS in generations (may he rest in peace), came out of that group of Marines. This time, I was a SNCO, feeling those same feelings of regret, of failure. This time, my MasterGuns (may he rest in peace) walked me back through a similar conversation. I never begrudged those Marines who got out, whether they left for school, family, politics, to become a tattoo artist in Cost Rica, didn't want to go back to war, or were just tired of the military. They're all reasonable. Lastly, how much did my First Sergeant, Sergeant Major, or Battalion Commander impact me while I was deployed? Very little. Even when our BN CO was removed, I was more annoyed that I had to take time away from operations, and shave for the first time in weeks, because the incoming BN CO felt he needed to come tell us. Leaving after 24 years of service is in no way a betrayal. #marinecorps #veteran #radbn #oif #mcsb #usmc #votevets
Last thing I plan to say on this topic, but: There is a 0% chance that all of the veterans who are attacking other veterans' military careers would still be doing so if they were on "your team" Which means that you feel like political divisions are more important than the sanctity of the brotherhood. Which says more about you than the person you're attacking.

On Remembrance Day, we take a moment to honour the brave men and women who have served in our armed forces, reflecting on the significant sacrifices they’ve made for our freedom. Yet, for many veterans, their battle doesn’t end with military service. Transitioning to civilian life can be tough, as they face challenges such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the search for purpose, and the need for social connections. Please check out our latest blog post to learn more: https://lnkd.in/g-4epTV2

Now that I'm "out" I finally feel the freedom to confidently say if you want to increase military retention, you have to start with military families. I heard a prominent military spouse share the anecdote that service members are beautiful flowers, and military spouses are the, ahem, fertilizer they need to grow (keeping it profesh for the LinkedIn crowd). Frankly, that's exactly how it feels most days as a military spouse - and I'm one of the lucky ones with a remote career, who is not underemployed, and currently loves where we live. Think about it: in what world would you, at most, want to be second-best to your spouse? You cannot plan anything from vacations to five-year plans with any certainty, much less where you might live. You give up everything you know: friends, family, support, hair stylists (this one is tough), doctors, etc., to follow someone else around and support their career - one that often leaves you on your own. And yet, we do it. I did it for 18 years, and it was hard, and I had to fight for silver linings. I know the military has much, much bigger issues than caring about spouses, but here's an idea: don't move folks around so much. In the civilian world, it's rare to ship you off to different locations every two-to-three years - especially when you have to travel so much for work, anyway. Also, it would save the military precious dollars. It's not that simple of a solution, but taking care of families will go a long way with military retention.

Hosted by NMFA, this premiere event brings together military families, partners, and policy makers to explore these critical issues facing families.

#SAICproud of this post by my CEO on Military Family Appreciation Month. Check out the post below:
As the daughter of a career US Army General, #MilitaryFamilyAppreciationMonth holds profound meaning for me. Our family's journey taught me firsthand what it means to serve. Those lessons of sacrifice, resilience, and pride continue to shape who I am and how we approach #MilitaryFamily support at SAIC. We understand the pride, the sacrifices, and the resilience it takes to serve—because so many of us have lived it – either ourselves or through a loved-one. With #veterans comprising 30% of our workforce, military families aren't just part of our community—they're at the heart of who we are. To all military families: your strength, sacrifice, and unwavering support make America's defense possible.
